If the "environmentalists" can demonstrate that the region is "polluted" you know how much of a slam dunk case this is? It's Shaq level slam dunk.
Show the constituent concentrations and compare them to EPA regulated thresholds.
Two things can be true:
1) Sometimes the plants put some nasty stuff in the air
2) It's not enough to violate the law
The reality is, people who live near plants tend to be very poor, because the only people who live there are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else. Land and housing is cheap there.
Poor people tend to have many health problems due to a lack of using health care, because again, poor. Even if you are on medicaid, you still actually have to go to the doctor to get care and you still actually have to take care of yourself.

Landry wasn’t the Governor in June of 23 when we invoked the FOIA.
I believe in freedom of the press, but when bureaucrats in govt, ally with the press to orchestrate public opinion it should be exposed.

If the level of unhealthy is due to proximity to a chemical plant then it should be objectively demonstrated via sampling and medical test.
Otherwise the level of unhealthy continues to be directly correlated to socioeconomic status and the underlying behaviors despite chemical plant proximity.

Technically condensing water vapor. Steam is invisible.

Unfortunately, there is so much more to come from the EPA on this stuff and other things like it... Just one of many federal agencies that are running around making rules that are well outside of their authorization...
Congress needs to reel them all in...

It’s an open secret that the EPA coordinates with journalists and environmental groups to institute lawsuits against companies and municipalities in order to instigate “sue and settle” consent decrees as an end-around the normal notice and comment rule-making and environmental impact permit processes.

TLDR Landry wasting state resources to go after journalists who dared to investigate Cancer Alley under his reign as AG.
F those lying "journalists," and lying tree hugger NGO frauds and their "environmental racism," "environmental justice," "Cancer Alley" BS. They just had two terms of a governor and administration that kissed their asses... Now its payback time. Expose them for the lying frauds they are. The actual science and data is not on their side.

Plants and factories were built in/near black communities because white people didn’t want them near their neighborhoods and black had/have no power. Blacks didn’t flock to live near refineries.

Louisiana’s far-right government has quietly obtained hundreds of pages of communications between the Environmental Protection Agency and journalists, legal advocates and community groups focused on environmental justice. The rare use of public records law to target citizens is a new escalation in the state’s battle with the EPA over its examination of alleged civil rights violations in the heavily polluted region known as “Cancer Alley”.
What a load of libtarded dribble!
We the people and the State of Louisiana are entitled to this information!
Only a Constitution hater would decry anyone obtaining public records under the freedom of information act.
Are you a Nazi or just a general overall big government dictator?

The Biden EPA is also circumventing the rule making process by using enforcement actions to force individual companies to go well beyond current rules and regulations (let’s call it blackmail, bc that’s what it is)

Or, stick with me here, they put them in areas where land was cheap.
